Personal Trainer?
I want to Become A Personal Trainer but dont know if I should go to college for sports medicine or go to the various personal trainer voc schools to get the liscenses i need to be able to train…. I’m 17 and am about to start my senior year in High School so I have little time to decide…any information about Becoming A Personal Trainer and or any advice?
I would go to school, for sure. You need a degree in Exercise Physiology. You learn a ton about how certain exercise works in different ways for the body, as well as diet strategies .
It will involve a lot of work, but it goes by quickly. Not to mention that you use previous class knowledge constantly, so you get familiar with it quickly.
Try getting a job at a health club first, maybe a front desk job. Get familiar with the Fitness Center, understand how things work. Ask personal trainers on the staff questions about personal training. Get an idea of what to expect, how to deal with clients, and what all is involved in the training process.
Good luck.
